it sounds like a bad download...when aokp is installing in recovery it should take anywhere from 15 to 20 sec same with gapps. i would redownload off the computer and stick it on the root of your sdcard... hopefully u had a backup. also what recovery are u using??? I recommend twrp it is very user friendly and also mounts ext sdcard. some of the recovery for this phone is finnicky.... twrp gives me no problems

[Solved] Flashed cyanogenmod, stuck on boot screen

Hey guys, I'm really new to rooting, flashing roms, and Android in general (I've used iOS since 2007 until a month ago... please have mercy on my soul). I have an AT&T GN2 that I would like to remove the bloatware from, hence why I began investigating rooting, but it's snowballed into my desire to try out some of the amazing ROMs that the developers here have produced. Since the Note 2 uses the Exynos 4, I rooted using the ExynosAbuse exploit and downloaded Titanium Backup to freeze the AT&T apps. So far, so good.
However, I am wanting to get into how to flash custom ROMs, like CyanogenMod, so I downloaded the CWM RomManager and flashed the CWM Recovery. I downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1 release for the i317 model (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024495) and the latest gApps package (for 4.2.1), and flashed both from CWM RomManager. When it rebooted, it showed the CyanogenMod boot screen, but it appears to be stuck there. I'm not sure what to do at this point, and am hoping I didn't brick my phone. Is there anything I can do at this point?

Use the three button combo to get into recovery, should be volume up, home, and power, and then wipe data or install a stock rooted ROM. That should help get you to a bootable stage.

When I booted into recovery, I got the CWM recovery (which is a good thing, I suppose). I wiped the cache, and then installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip. However, I think I still need to wipe data/factory reset, right?
So, at this point, I've:
1. Rooted the device using Chainfire's ExynosAbuse apk (super easy).
2. Installed RootChecker (success) and TI backup (froze bloatware apps).
3. Downloaded CWM RomManager.
4. Flashed CWM Recovery.
5. Downloaded CM 10.1 port for i317 (the AT&T GN2 model) and the 4.2.1 gApps zips.
6. Chose to install ROM from SD card in RomManager, added both CM 10.1 and gApps, and only selected install (did not wipe cache or user data at this point).
7. Received blue CyanogenMod boot screen... excited... but it remains on the boot screen. Sad face.
8. Removed battery to power the device off, placed battery back in, and then booted into recovery mode (CWM recovery).
9. Installed the CM 10.1 zip and gApps zip from SD, then wiped cache.
10. ???

Wipe data factory reset. Wipe cache/dalvik. Flash cm, flash gapps. Reboot
And dont use rom manager. Do it in recovery

Okay, booted into CMW recovery and performed all in that order. It booted! Hurrah. Only problem: the AOSP keyboard crashes constantly, making text input not possible. Sigh...

Okay, I booted into recovery mode and fixed permissions... the keyboard still crashes, which means I can't type anything. Do I have to do anything with the kernel? I didn't wipe the dalvik cache, should I have done that?
EDIT: wiped dalvik cache, didn't do anything... apparently, this was a fine release so I'm not sure what could be causing the keyboard issues.

So what ROM are you using? I just picked cyanogenmod because I've heard of it before, but I would like something that works. Is there a way to add another ROM onto the phone's storage, as I don't have an SD card... And since I can't type anything, it's not like I can download it from the phone's browser?

Plug it into your computer and see if you can mount your internal sd. If you can download a new rom to your computer and transfer it to sd. Did you make a backup before flashing?
Im just running stock rooted for now.

Well, I'm downloading CleanROM right now. I also downloaded another cm 10.1 file just in case, perhaps it's because I downloaded it on the mobile Chrome browser that I'm having problems? I also downloaded a kernel from the thread to help with performance. However, if I can't get these on the phone, it doesn't matter. Since I'm on a Mac, I have to use Android File Transfer, and it isn't registering my phone, unfortunately. I may have to go out and buy a cheap SD card and throw the files on there. It may not hurt to have one around, anyways.

Text yourself the download link to CleanRom. :thumbup:
And chrome shouldnt have made a difference. I take it you didnt make a nandroid backup before you flashed cm?

No... I thought that a backup of the original ROM was made when flashing CWM recovery, but I am a noob and that did not happen. Unfortunately, the browser doesn't even work! So I cannot text myself the link for the download. I should be able to flash a zip file from a micro sdhc, right?

Flash the right GAPPS, the crashing keyboard is a symptom of incorrect GAPPS. The December one is for 4.2.1 only, which is what CM10.1 is based on. Make sure you flash the right GAPPS with the right CM version.

The CM you linked in the OP is CM10 not 10.1, so you flashed the wrong GAPPs

Oh... crap. Is there any way I can get the correct gApps on my phone? Ugh... I'm going to have access to a Windows machine today, so I can download the correct GAPPS and put them on my flash drive. I can still put it in USB debugging mode, but will the PC recognize it? Android File Transfer software for Mac does not recognize the phone any more, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. Unless, like I said before, I can just pop in an SD card with the correct file.

Just grab goo manager from the market and dl the correct gapps to your phone. Either that or use your phones browser. No need for a pc. Boot in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash correct gapps. Should be gtg.
Edit: just saw your browser isn't working. Goo manager's your best bet. Could always try another browser from the market as well. Good luck.

[Q] sd card Swap failed :/

I use cm10 alpha 7 , when I swap sd card by changing vold.stab I get unfortunately android.process.media stopped and I tried to open storage in settings then I get settings stopped . Possible solution ? :/ Sorry for bad english

Did you set the permissions correctly? Or did you sure the value in vold.fstab are done correctly?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2

as long as ur editing the vold.fstab file not copying a replacement then permissions won't change
just make sure that u only change the "1" with "0" and vice versa , don't change anythn else, then save then reboot
If u prefer just flashing a zip then u can find a link for it in another question thread i guess

Try flashing zip files from here instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994688

hi, Yes, I did that reinstall the same rom and flash the zip file. I had also tried a few different ROM with the same repeated flashing & keep getting the same result. At one point, I had also waited for 30 minutes thinking maybe I should have waited a bit longer.

That's very strange, okey lets take it step by step:
What recovery are you using?
Before attempting to swap your sdcard, does the rom worked porperly?

CWM 6.0.2.3 ..and yes, it working..because I was able to re-install the ROM zip so I can get back the system.
During the installing of the swap sdcard zip file. I did not see any error message as well.
I had flashed SWAP ICS Version: Android 4.0.x on the S3 ROM by ipromeh..

okey then i guess the only thing you can do is try again. try this, i know you know how to flash but just try it:
1) wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, wipe system, wipe cache
2) reboot to recovery
3) redo step 1
4) reboot to recovery
5) flash rom, flash gapps
6) boot rom
7) reboot rom
8) install es file manager (you may download it from play store)
9) start es file manager, enable root browsing, and edit /system/etc/vold.stab like in the attached picture
10) reboot
try and lets see

Hi. I had used manual editing on the /system/etc/bold.fstab
Screenshot attached.
Reboot into recovery and wipe the cache ..the reboot system. This time no Boot loop but sdcards are not changing. Please see the second screenshot.

[Q] URGENT HELP NEEDED! Phone charger port broken completely

Okay so basically I spilt a little bit of water in my charger port while i was charging it, and now it has a burnt smell and won't charge in anything. Its not fixable from anyone but samsung, and I'm not prepared to completely take apart my phone to fix it. It needs to go to a samsung service center. BUT:
1. My phone is running Rox's cm10.2, so they won't accept it
2. I can't use any charging wire as none of them work, so I can't use odin from my desktop
3. I only have limited battery (although I have a mate that has an Ace II so I can swap his battery)
I need a method to get my phone to stock, then reset the flash counter, without using my computer (so basically all on my phone).
I don't know if there is a way, but many thanks in advance if there is!

I meant that you formatted preload before installing CM/other custom ROM and because of that there were no apps when you restored teddytsen's backup. (CWM doesn't backup/restore preload).

thanks for your help...

If you're on any CM based rom and want to go back to Stock (especially to an earlier Android version) you need to wipe everything in order to work correctly.
Flash via flashtool and just leave everything checked as is.

If you backed up using cwm, only the app "Rom manager" will allow you to see your backups. And you are only able to locate and transfer them to your PC if you have the paid version of Rom Manager. If you want to go back to stock using flashtool, unfortunately you will lose your files as a SD card wipe is mandatory thru flash tool.
